Black Rock Church is located in Fairfield, Connecticut. We were established in 1849 by just a few faithful Christ-followers and have now grown to thousands of adults and children who attend our services each weekend. As a non-denominational church, we welcome you no matter your religious background.<\/p>\n

We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)<\/p>\n

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; John 14:10, 13, 16-17, 26; 2 Corinthians 13:14)<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS BEGOTTEN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (Matthew 1:18, 23; Luke 1:35; John 17:11, 21)<\/p>\n

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and, in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word and deed. (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7; Jeremiah 17:9, Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:3)<\/p>\n

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
